big ben clock

With time constantly ticking away in our pockets, on our wrists and computer screens the use of wall clocks has almost been forgotten. We still admire works of art and architecture like the Big Ben that help us tune into London's time and space, but our personal daily time, the seconds and minutes we spend working and socializing, have become as small as our pockets and as abstract as our computer screens. Big Ben by Marcel Wanders helps us regain consciousness of time's weight. So why not give it an important position in our living space? Why not go for a giant, decorative, iconic wall clock to give time our own, personal dimension?

Marcel Wanders grew up in Boxtel, the Netherlands and graduated cum laude from the School of the Arts Arnhem in 1988. His fame started with the iconic Knotted Chair in 1996. He is now designing for the biggest European contemporary design manufacturers including Moooi of which he is also art director and co-owner. He works on architectural, interior design and consumer home appliances. His designs have been selected for the most important design collections and exhibitions around the world.

Big Ben features a white dial, black rim & hands. It Includes a floor stud and 5 labels to personalize your clock, indicating your favorite location; Home, Everywhere, Nowhere, Milan and Amsterdam. Wherever you are, Big Ben can be there as well!

Movement included is synchronized with an autonomous time chip. The time chip is programmed to Central European Time (CET) and automatically adjusts to summer- and wintertime setting. The chip can also be set to different time zones.
